Hi Pat. We have chatted regarding an old friend of mine, John Johnson from Lamberhead Road. I moved to the boys school at Montrose Ave in 1960 leaving behind all the lovely girls. Does anyone remember Nadine Ellison who lived next to the school?

Hi Fred, was Nadine the girl who wore braces on her legs or am I thinking of somebody else? in any case I do know the name.

Yes, Pat
That was Nadine. I would love to get in touch with her again. She was a lovely girl and we all had lots of fun back then.

hi fred , you have probally been in touch with nadine by now she does the car boot at hindley on a sunday ,, not every week mind you , she now lives in sherwood drive ,with patrick her hubby ,

Is that Susan Powell at the back?

Most certainly, can't recall all the names but I know there was a Susan Powell in the class - a relation of yours?

I went into this commercial class in 1962. I originally went to St Marks but they let 5 girls from other schools go when we were 15. The other girls were Marion Tudge who also went to St Marks and Eileen Brown, Pam Rotherham and Kathleen Culshaw who came from Gidlow. Some of the original class were still there, they were Eileen Seddon, Christine Miller, Grace Barlow and Susan Powell. We only stayed for a year and then we had to go to Wigan Tech.
